Figure 4
CLIMEX climatic suitability indices for Phenacoccus manihoti in Asia.
Predictions used the CLIMOND interpolated climate database at 10′. A. Ecological index (EI), a measure of climatic suitability from 1–100. EI values greater than 20 indicate high risk of infestations. B. Cold stress, an index of mortality caused by intolerable cold. C. Heat stress, an index of mortality caused by intolerable heat. D. Wet stress, an index of mortality caused by rainfall. E. Number of generations per year P. manihoti can potentially complete at a given location.
